Our resident guru, Daryl_S has often told us about his method of shooting round balls from a choked shotgun with great success. I have been fascinated by his practice, but I have never taken the task on. Lately I have been reading the classic work of W.W. Greener, The Gun and Its Development, 9th Edition. Just yesterday I came on a passage that substantiates everything Daryl has said on these forums. I scanned the pages (pp. 390-392) and will now present them to you. The interesting stuff begins just below the middle of page 391 and continues onto 392. Page 390 ![]() Pay particular attention starting with the paragraph that begins, "Choke bore guns may be used as ball guns . . ." Page 391: ![]() ![]() ![]() So there is the word from 100 years ago given by an authority in the design and manufacture of shotguns. Daryl_S has it right. Best, Curl |
